How to Play the V Chord in C Major Blues Music

The V chord in the key of C in the Blues scale is this in notation. Let's take a look. We have G which is the root. It's also the fifth of the C, scale of C. We have B which is the third. And we have D which is the fifth. And we have F natural which is the dominant 7 or the flat 7 of from G making it a dominant chord. I'm going to now play the arpeggio that goes with the dominant chord. And then after I will play the scale that goes along with G dominant. So we have the 7 arpeggio. And now we play a G dominant scale which is the G major scale with the flat 7. Notice the Blues sound of that flat 7.
